The view of the impressive valley, formed by the Impero river, is the background setting for the farmhouse Rustico Giovanni. Built entirely from indigenous limestone, the house upstairs offers the guest a large living room with a kitchenette and dining table. A stone staircase leads the guest downstairs to the bedrooms, where a pleasant temperature is maintained, even during the hot summer days. In the evening, a nice barbecue in the garden hits the spot. The friendly landlords will also, upon request, give a tour of their own in-house olive museum.

The ancient town of Chiusanico lies on a ridge, where oak and chestnut woods alternate with hills covered with olive groves. According to a tradition that is corroborated by some researchers, this was the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, although there is no general agreement among historians.

Picturesque mountain town nestled in between vineyards and olive groves. In Gazzelli is a wonderful "Visitation", who was painted by Domenico Piola. She was originally painted for the pilgrimage church Madonna degli Angeli, which lies somewhat isolated south of the town, but is now to be seen in the church San Andrea.
